Provider Access Legislation has a variety of requirements which training providers must be aware of to ensure they are meeting requirements. Here are some basic details about the new processes which training providers will be involved in:

The training provider offer

Schools and providers should work together and schools must ask each provider to provide information to pupils that, as a minimum, includes:

• information about the provider and the approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships that the provider offers
• information about the careers to which those technical education qualifications or apprenticeships might lead
• a description of what learning or training with the provider is like
• responses to questions from the pupils about the provider or approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships

Schools are already required by law to prepare a policy statement setting out the circumstances in which education and training providers will be given access to pupils.

The new legislation requires schools to set out the times at which access is to be given and explain how they will meet the new legal requirement to put on six provider encounters.
